I know you are excited about some of the old cars coming back...and sad that some others aren't...but part of the fun of a sequel are new characters mixing with the old, right? Are there any ones you're excited to see? Finn McMissle maybe? Or Professor Z?
Thanks for that poster! It looks awesome! I wanna see how Finn McMissile will somehow mesh with Lightning's races. It's inevitable, right?

If you guys are on Facebook, if you go the official Cars page, they have brief summaries of released characters and their roles in the movies. Sally is mentioned, but I still don't know if she's gonna be in it (rooting on the sidelines it says). And looking at all the still shadowed characters, it looks like we're getting a roster similar to Toy Story 3. Hurrah!

Raoul CaRoule and Carla Veloso just debuted this week and you're right - lots of new characters still to come!

I assume he didn't just join and that he recorded his lines ages ago. It would seem unusual for Pixar to cast somebody in February, when they probably have one month of production left.

Amazing! The animation's just beautiful. I love the "car" interpretations of the countries.

And get this!; Bruce Campbell (of The Evil Dead Trilogy) will be the voice of Miles Axelrod in Cars 2! This is the second time Bruce has been in a Disney film (first was Sky High)! Him in this film will make it even awesomer! Woo!

Not sure what to make of this trailer.
It seems like a continuation of Cars to me (which isn't a good thing). Sure, the spy plot could be interesting, but more Mater is never good. Is there anyone who thinks he's funny? Apart from very young children, perhaps? I don't understand how Pixar continues to bring continually funny characters to the screen, and suddenly comes up with this insulting, unfunny caricature.

He's not so bad as all that. I'm not a huge fan of <i>Cars</i>, but even sub-par Pixar is pretty darn good.
Still, I can't get excited about this one. I trust that it will be reasonably good (for aforementioned reasons), but probably won't be a favorite.
Is it just me or are the trailers showing way more of the movie than usual?
